    Mostly older bayonets

    Forgot I had these in storage after the move I believe I've ID'ed them all. All have frogs or scabbards. Curious as to rarity on some.

    Not in picture order

    1. M1896 Swedish mauser
    2. m5A1 Garand
    3. No. 9 (British)
    4. West German KCB 77
    6. Swiss Stg 57
    7. FN FAL M1965 (South African)

    I don't think any are rare, those are all fairly easy bayonets to find. I'm guessing you are asking more about monetary value so I will say I think the most valuable one is probably the number 5 one, the long British or American model pictured which you didn't list. It looks like it goes to either an Enfield or a Springfield. Someone here could tell you exactly if you post a picture of the markings on the blade. I remember when those FAL bayonets were less than $10 and bought a couple to use as garden tools because of the offset spade style blade and round handle grip. I think today they sell for about $40 from retailers. The rest of those are probably $100 or less per knife.

        What decade was this? Wasn't the DC-3 a WW2 era plane?

          Nice goodies.

          I bought a very nice Wenger Swiss 57 from a member here.

            It was a regular stop for us from 69-71 yes DC-3 WW 2 but remember our US Navy flew R4D's, R5D's & R6D's became C-47's C-117's C118's I served from 1958-1971 and worked on all the above aircraft during my career. Puff was a C-47.

              I figured that, that's funny on the FN FAL one must have been thousands made.
